A girl's heart is a cage of deep secrets and emotions.
Her mind is an unsolved mystery of thoughts she's afraid to share.
Her soul is a flightless bird until love lets it soar.
When a girl loves,
she loves truly,
without holding back,
just to feel loved.
When a girl is upset,
and the ones she cares about most can't cheer her up,
it's not exactly because they can't...
it's just because she doesn't allow anyone to.
When she gets her heart broken,
chances are the one who broke it is the only one who can fix it.
When she dreams,
she dreams with all she has,
because maybe she doesn't have anything else.
When she is walking down a dark tunnel,
striving to reach the light,
and it disappears,
she will keep fighting.
She will fight,
just to become a fighter.
She will cry,
just to make herself feel better,
or just because she doesn't know what else to do.
A girl knows that for every uphill climb,
there's going to be a downward slide,
but she can reach the top once again if people build her up,
and not tear her down.
She will search for love, happiness, or peace her whole life,
but whether she finds it depends on if she feels life is worth it.
She knows how to let go,
because she's had to so many times.
She knows how to hold on,
because she's had to just to keep some things.
She has figured out that life is a balance of holding on,
and letting go.
She'll open up to people,
only if she thinks she can trust them,
or just because she needs to.
When a girl finds love,
the cage is unlocked,
the mystery is solved,
and the flightless bird will fly.
